In 1910, Walter Schlage patented a door handle with a button which when pushed locked the door. In 1920, Schlage opened a shop in San Francisco in the present-day financial district. In the same year, he applied for a patent for a lock that could be drilled into a door with only two holes. This new cylindrical lock had a small, round backplate and a separate keyhole plate. It was mostly used on interior doors, where it replaced the older Mortise lock.
Schlage’s company grew quickly and into larger facilities throughout the 1920s. The company was manufacturing 20,000 locks per month in 1925. In 1927, Schlage partnered with a San Francisco businessman and financier, Charles Kendrick. In 1940, Schlage was awarded the Modern Pioneer award given to outstanding American inventors. His legacy was carried out since his departure in 1946.
A lot’s changed since Walter Schlage opened his first shop in 1920. At the same time, there’s a lot that hasn’t changed, either. They’re still meticulous designers, painstaking engineers, and proud craftsmen. They’ve accomplished a lot during their first 90 years.
Schlage are creators of some of the most stylish and durable door hardware in a range of unique design and finish combinations. They just released two new designer finishes for their portfolio: Satin Brass and Polished Nickel. They have several styles of security hardware.
Since I’m a décor enthusiast, I was thrilled to receive Schlage hardware to integrate more Schlage hardware into our home. My choice of hardware to complement our home’s décor was the Decorative Camelot Rose Finish: Satin Brass. They were really simple to install.
It was very easy for me to incorporate the Satin Brass products from Schlage throughout our home. The Schlage design makeover with door hardware to outfit our home in the new Satin Brass finish complemented our front and back entry doors beautifully! We had previously installed the Camelot Double Cylinder Bright Brass Handleset with Accent Interior Lever on our front entry door to match the outdoor brass light fixtures and the Schlage Single Cylinder Aged Bronze Camelot Trim Decorative Security Set Lever on the back entry door to correspond with the aged bronze 1-handle pull-down kitchen faucet.
As you can see, after we began remodeling, Schlage hardware is the only brand that we have used in our home. My mother’s fiance is a carpenter, and he said that Schlage products are the only brand they use when building apartments or business buildings. The installment process is effortlessly easy!

Our doorknob is broken. It locks, but we have to lock it with the key because the mechanism on the inside is broken and we can’t do it manually. These sound like a great replacement.
I love the look of that hardware. It’s so elegant. That can be difficult to do. There’s a fine line between elegant and plain.

We currently have Schlage in our “newish” home. It’s 10 years old so I think that constitutes as new right? Anyway we chose them over a few other brands based on security and style. I loved their style choices.

I want a keyless doorknob/lock SO bad. I lost my garage door key… AND my front door key too. the hubby had the front door key, made me a new one, but HE did not have the garage key. So we have to go in the front door all the time.. LOL AND I hate the thing, it’s weird, you can go OUT the locked door! It opens from the inside, still locked.. so you can lock yourself out so easy.
What a beautiful story! And proof that sticking to good design and not cutting corners pays off! I love a company with integrity and the Schlage design are innovative and beautiful! I would love a keyless entry! We have that on one of our cars and it is a Godsend!

I love the polished nickel. It is just very antique looking to me, very elegant.
My favorites are the Standard Non-locking Latitude Lever and Standard Privacy Latitude Lever. Our doorknobs are old, original, and ugly. These would really update our look and beautify our home.

http://www.schlage.com/en/home/products/F40LATFFF.html
My favorite is the Wakefield Style One side keyed Handleset with Accent Lever.
My favorite style is the Plymouth Collection. I particular I like the Standard Privacy Lever. This style would update the doors that currently have the old fashioned ball handles.

I like the Camelot Style In the Satan Finish,with the lever handles. I like the back plates because they have more substance. I think it would make my home more attractive and the lever handles would be easier to use with having arthritis.
We just changed our knobs both front and back doors. Those are pretty knobs though and I’ve always loved brass when it comes to knobs.
A keyless door lock? I want this! MY daughter always looses her key. This is perfect.
This looks like a genius idea!! I have always had issues with keys and I love this idea!!

I would love to have a keyless version. I really want screen doors on my home though.

Our interior hardware is fine, but our exterior hardware is in very poor shape. I’d love to have a pair of Camelot keyless deadbolts in satin brass.

I love the shape of the Camelot in Satin Brass. We are re-doing an older home, and these would be gorgeous pieces to add.
The door is pretty. Someone is going to be a lucky winner when they take home that hardware!
These locks will come in handy. My husband is renovating.
I just painted my front door, so new hardware would be wonderful!
This would be such a nice interior makeover!
Wait, exterior hardware, too?!?! I’ve GOT to win!

It’s crazy what a difference door knobs make!!! We just replaced all the knobs for the doors inside of our house and it looks like we got all new doors, lol.
Those look great! We have been slowly replacing all of those in our home- when we bought our house we had some awful hardware everywhere! We changed our kitchen cabinets before we moved in and we’ve been doing things like the front door and garage door over time. It makes a huge difference!

The Camelot Style Two sides keyed Handleset with Georgian Knob would look so pretty on our front door. We recently purchased our house that was built in 1909 and needs a ton of updating. Our current front door handle is barely functioning anymore and needs to be replaced very badly. This would be so pretty and timeless to go with our old house.
I like the Camelot Style One side keyed Handleset with Georgian Knob
I really like the Greenwich Style One side keyed Handleset with Latitude Lever! Our lock on our door is so worn looking & this would make the door shine!
I love the polished nickel look! We recently just became homeowners and the house has SO many upgrades that need done!

I like this one: http://www.schlage.com/en/home/products/F170ACCFFFWKF.html?bck=@@sch-us:brand/schlage@@sch-us:finishes/polishednickel. We are actually in the process of getting a new front door and I think this would take it to the next level. We bought our house a year and a half ago and the door is drafty and really needs a makeover. 🙂
I would love to have the camelott style priveat accent lever for my door
http://www.schlage.com/en/home/products/F40ACCFFFCAM.html?bck=@@sch-us:brand/schlage@@sch-us:finishes/satinbrass
it would improve my door so much I don’t have a really good lock on my front door
I like the camelot two sided handleset with giorgian knob. i would really like the brass color because it would complement my color scheme. Right now we have a really ugly gold. Which can be very pretty in many cases but does not go well with my door! http://www.schlage.com/en/home/products/F62CAMFFFGEO.html?bck=@@sch-us:brand/schlage@@sch-us:finishes/satinbrass#

Our home is almost 50 years old and all of the hardware is outdated. The nickel finish would be perfect with my decor and I love the modern design of the Wakefield Style Keyed Accent Lever.

I like the Greenwich Style One side keyed Handleset with Latitude Lever and it would improve the look of my home because what I have there now is a rusty old handset. http://www.schlage.com/en/home/products/F60GRWFFFLAT.html?bck=@@sch-us:brand/schlage@@sch-us:product/handlesets/oneSideKeyed@@sch-us:product/handlesets
